Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here

Driven into the global music spotlight with the success of their seminal album, Dark Side of the Moon, the members of Pink Floyd were at a crossroads when they went into the studio to record their follow-up record. They were also at each others’ throats as they tried to decide what the band and their music would evolve into once success came and kicked down their doors. The documentary does a good job taking viewers through the creation of some of the classic songs from the Wish You Were Here sessions, and it’s particularly fascinating to watch and listen to original recording engineer Brian Humphries breakdown the recordings at the sound board using the original master tapes. It’s the interviews with the band members, particularly Roger Waters and David Gilmour, that add depth to the experience.
